| Summary: | This is a book about doing linguistics by using data, comparative and historical, from the Romance languages. It explores what we can learn about linguistics from the study of Romance, rather than taking the more traditional approach of asking what we can learn about the structure and history of the Romance languages through the application of general linguistic principles and assumptions. In short, it asks not what linguistics can do for Romance, but, rather, what Romance can do for linguistics. |
